Can't Stop the Growth To the Point: From Wagon Wheels to $20M+ – The Incredible Story of F.F. Hitchcock
What happens when a 150-year-old business decides to reinvent itself—and ends up hitting $20 million in revenue?
Hosts Chris Yano and Chad Peterman sit down with John Bowman of F.F. Hitchcock to unpack how a legacy company founded in 1870 transformed into a $20M service powerhouse. John gets real about navigating change, surviving the 2008 downturn, and discovering that growth often starts with admitting what you don’t know.
From Rhino X revelations to building upside-down trade show booths, John shares how creativity, team culture, and a willingness to listen have redefined what's possible in the trades.
